Even though it has only been a year since we met each other, I can tell Roxanne has undergone massive changes. Did she become courageous because she renewed her relationship with her ex? Also, I should’ve thought about Farwell Group when she mentioned her husband’s name was Lucian Farwell.
Now I remember who he is. He’s currently the number one businessman in the country. Even though he never showed up on the ranking of the wealthiest men in the country, everyone knew the throne belonged to him. Even major corporations and bigwigs in Epea had to respect him. I’m equally shocked and envious of Roxanne. How can she be this lucky?
She doesn’t deserve it! I refuse to yield to her! Stifling her rage, Orchid demanded firmly, “I don’t think there’s much to discuss. If you truly plan to oppose Mr. Lambert’s arrangement, then there’s nothing else I can say. Leave this place with your people now!”
She thought that would be enough to scare Roxanne away. Instead, Roxanne replied calmly. “I’m not the only person involved in this matter. Thus, I will hold my ground until the end. If you don’t want to have any discussions, then that’s for the best. Please leave now.
I won’t send you out.” I’m not doing this just for myself. I need to consider Colby’s, Old Mr. Lomax’s, and others’ futures, too. If I hand over the research institute to Orchid, she’ll remove anyone who opposes her.
Orchid’s expression froze when she heard that.
Gritting her teeth, she squeezed her words out. in a frigid tone. “It seems like you no longer respect Mr. Lambert.”
“I’ll explain the situation to him.” Roxanne then ignored Orchid, turned to Colby and Peregrine, and nodded.
Basically, she was telling them to return to the research institute and pay no mind to the visitors. It was Orchid’s turn to suffer.
Originally, she planned to rid of the existing managerial team. She didn’t expect to face such fierce resistance. If I give up now, I’ll embarrass myself! I can’t help but regret not accepting Roxanne’s proposal. I should’ve listened to what conditions she had. If they weren’t too extreme, I could’ve agreed to them.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Lucian smirking at her, making her panic even more. Roxanne played me like a fiddle! If I return like this, no one in the company will listen to me anymore!
Swallowing her pride, Orchid requested, “Roxanne, wait. Perhaps we should discuss this. It’s my fault for being rash.”
After taking a few steps away, Roxanne turned and faced Orchid composedly. “Is that so? In that case, please come to my office, Orchid. We’ll discuss things there.”
Then she approached Peregrine. “Old Mr. Lomax, please ask everyone to return to their stations and continue their good work. I’ll definitely negotiate an outcome that everyone will find acceptable.”
While Peregrine was put at ease by her promise, he still couldn’t help but remind, “This research institute is your sweat and blood, Roxanne. You should think more for yourself. We never worry that there’ll be a crisis. After all, the reward from Flora Verba Group is enough. Every technician is grateful for you from the bottom of their hearts.”
Feeling touched, Roxanne nodded. Peregrine then led everyone back to their posts while Roxanne took Orchid to her office.
Suddenly, Colby grabbed Lucian’s arm and informed, “Ms. Jarvis asked me to take care of something earlier, Mr. Farwell. I need to handle it now, and I hope you can help.”
Without waiting for an explanation, Lucian nodded swiftly.
